[JoshRand2006]

on 9-11 the United states Military went to war agains the evils of terrorism and the Muslim extremists that spawned these attacks in that time over 3500 men and women have died. I am sorry if the count is wrong. I forget how many have lost their lives in defense of our country and to the I give my hearffelt thanks. and to the group comparing Hiroshima and Nagasaki to 9-11. I only have this to say. the 9-11 attacks were meant to frighten us nothing more. nagasaki was meant to end a bloody war.

Osama Bin Laden is dead. he was killed 2 days ago on May 1st by a US Seal team. Long live the United States of America. I salute the men and women in uniform that are even now defending our freedom around the world. I Salute the Men who undertook this mission to kill one of Americas greatest enemies. the people who died on this day because of him are finaly avenged.

Love and the utmost respect from England. We've got your back any time you need us. Peace.

[Decont89]

@JoshRand2006 Yes, but we were the first to use one on enemies, and I agree with you, about the eventual high casualty rate, but that never makes it right.

[JoshRand2006]

@Decont89 1.5 Million. thats how many casualties we would have taken to conquer Japan. As for my point. I despise nuclear weapons. and I deperately hope that there is never another instance where it is used in anger. and as for us inventing the bomb. your wrong. we didnt start on it first we just finished first. germany got real close during WW2. look it up online. and there are rumors that japan had a nuclear program as well.

The song is written by a true American composer Arron Copland, long live America and all its fallen brethren from the revolution to today.

[dakeyjake]

I love America.

[TheSpoofninja]

But let us not forget, Copland was a composer who in some very important respects (most of them relating to his sexuality), struggled to find his place in 20th century American society, but his music emobodies an essential American truism - "Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free..." Give me your common men and women, and together we shall be great - all of us. U.S.A., U.S.A.!

America..... u did well.*solute*

[Decont89]

@JoshRand2006 but i hope the mark you mean to make is not one stating that using nuclear warfare is morally right, it was very inhumane, killing hundreds of thousands of people just trying to live a normal life, it was a thing that makes me sad to call myself an american

[Imaginator9]

There is something about this song that makes you proud to be an American.

God Bless America
